Your child's age and developmental level will determine the kinds of hazards he is likely to encounter. Infants are attracted to bright and shiny objects. They are curious about everything, and everything they touch goes into their mouths, creating a risk of choking or poisoning. As a baby learns to roll over, sit, crawl, and reach, he can tumble off a bed or changing table, pull a piece of filmy plastic over his face, or slip under water in the bathtub.
Toddlers also are extremely curious. They are attracted to bright packaging, and are learning to open things. Often, they succeed. They are learning to walk and will venture out of sight from time to time.
Because the "terrible twos" are a time when little ones typically start to assert their independence by saying "no," it can be difficult to enforce limits. Toddlers are especially at risk for poisoning, choking, and burns.
Older children are mastering new skills, such as biking and swimming. They are likely to be off exploring in secret places with friends, heedless of dangers. Bicycle accidents, near-drownings, poisoning from berries and outdoor plants, and getting lost are among the potential hazards for this age group. Many authorities recommend gentle but persistent warnings against accepting gifts or other enticements from strangers, as young children tend to be trusting of anyone who acts nice to them.
Teenagers typically feel invincible and immortal. In their desire for independence, they often push parents to the limit. Teenagers are under intense peer pressure to experiment with dangerous substances, to flirt with danger, to dare anything. This age group is at Ask for car accidents, bicycle and motorcycle accidents, sports injures, and toxic ingestion of drugs and alcohol.
Children of any age who are hyperactive, visually or hearing impaired, or physically or mentally handicapped tend to suffer more accidents than other children do. In addition, some children are simply more curious and more adventuresome than others. Some constantly rebel against authority of any kind and continually test their parents' resolve. Such children can be exhausting, but it is your responsibility as a parent to persevere. Remember that children need appropriate limits; without them, a child will feel lost and insecure, even unloved.
The goal is to create a safe environment, and to continually be aware of your child's activities, while maintaining an atmosphere that promotes fun, exploration, learning, and creativity. Most accidents happen when parents are too busy, too tired, or too short of time to be aware of what the kids are getting into. Whether you are simultaneously bustling around getting dressed, worrying about getting breakfast on the table, and readying your child for the day's activities, or in the midst of dinner preparation after a long, exhausting day, try to keep aware of where your child is and what he is doing.
Talk to your child. Using language and explanations your child understands, teach safety considerations both inside and outside of the home. It's much more effective to explain to your child how he could get hurt in a given circumstance than it is to say crossly, "Don't do it because I say so."
Be especially patient with a very young child. Young children have short attention spans and may not have the ability to rationalize and retain information. A young child may be unable to follow directions or understand the consequences of certain actions. Repetition is effective. Even if you have to go over a problem again and again, keep at it until your child understands.
Keep in mind also that children are natural mimics; they imitate the adults around them. It's up to you to set a safe example. As you teach your child to fasten his seat belt, you must also fasten yours. Obey street crossing signals. Don't walk your child across a street against the light. Don't drink and drive.
Try to scan your home carefully with the curious eyes of a child. Get down on your hands and knees and crawl around. Notice that the electrical sockets are at a crawling child's eye level, easily within reach and tempting to poke at. Look for bright, shiny objects, items a child might pop into his mouth. Spot the things your child might grab or pull on with disastrous results. For example, tugging on the trailing edge of a table cover or the loop of an electrical cord could bring a tableful of dishes or a heavy lamp crashing to the floor. At child's eye level, you'll be able to spot potential hazards more easily.
Be prepared. Not all accidents can be prevented, so knowing how to handle emergencies is an important safety precaution. Learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid. The Red Cross offers courses in first aid, as do many hospitals. The important thing is to learn these procedures before you need to use them. Make sure any course you take includes a thorough grounding in infant and child CPR, and take a refresher course every year.
Assemble and keep, in a convenient but secure location, a home health kit stocked with the basics for dealing with illness and injury (See end of article). Check expiration dates periodically and replace any outdated products promptly.
The safety checklist that follows will help you limit injuries and childproof your home.
Throughout Your Home
Make sure that every room in your home has a working smoke detector. lf detectors are wired in, it's a good idea to have a battery-operated backup in case of loss of electricity. Check and replace batteries as required.
Close off electrical outlets with safety devices. These are available in most hardware stores.
Keep floors clean of pins, buttons, food, and any other small objects a child could pick up and put in his mouth.
Put colorful stickers on picture windows and glass doors at your child's eye level, so that he can see them and will not accidentally run into them.
Remove heavy or sharp objects, such as picture frames, vases, and lamps, from tables, or move them away from the edges so that your child cannot pull them over.
Remove tablecloths that might be grabbed and pulled off.
Keep securely closed safety gates at the tops and bottoms of stairs.
Secure windows so that your child cannot reach an open window and fall out. Open windows from the top; keep screens secure. Do not put furniture in front of a window; that offers a path up to the sill.
Tie dangling curtain, drapery, and blind cords out of reach, especially any located near a crib or bed. Children can become entangled in such cords and suffocate.
Keep plastic bags, which can cause suffocation, out of reach of your child at all times.
If any work is being done in your home, talk to the workers about safety considerations for your child. Keep them aware of your child and your safety concerns. Ask them about special child hazards that might be involved in their work. Keep dirty drop cloths away from your child's sleeping and playing areas; be sure tools are properly stored, out of reach, at the end of the work day; keep lids on cans of paints, varnishes, solvents, and other products at all times; and create a safe place for your child, away from dust, nails, tools, splinters, paints, and fumes.
Use only nontoxic and lead-free paints in your home.
Keep all cleaning products, paints, gardening and hobby supplies, and any other dangerous substances out of reach of your child in a locked cabinet.
When using any potentially harmful item, such as a cleaning product, do not let * out of your sight. If you need to leave a room to answer the door or the phone, take the product with you.
Call your local Poison Control Center for information on preventing poisoning. Most centers will send you free literature with detailed instructions on how to poison-proof your home, as well as on what to do (and what not to do) in case of poisoning.
Keep all fireplaces securely screened and free of ashes and soot, which can be inhaled by a curious child.
All children are fascinated by fire, and most will eventually want to experiment with matches. Keep matches well hidden and securely out of reach.
Set the temperature for the hot water heater in your home no higher than 120°F. It takes only five seconds for 140°F water to cause a severe third-degree bum, but it takes a full three minutes to get a third-degree bum from 120°F water. Those extra minutes may provide enough time for you to snatch your child out of harm's way and prevent a nasty scald.
Do not let an infant or young child eat alone. Always keep a watchful eye out to prevent choking.
Eat slowly and chew food thoroughly, and teach your child to do the same. Sit down to eat. Make mealtime a relaxed, happy time.
Cut food into small, bite-sized pieces for your child. Teach him to take small bites from crackers or cookies.
Do not give a young child hot dogs, nuts, raisins, popcorn, or other similar foods. Young children may not chew finger foods sufficiently to prevent choking.
Don't permit your toddler to eat while he is engaged in play activity. It's too easy for a bite to go down wrong if he takes a tumble.
In the Kitchen
Keep all knives and other sharp objects out of reach.
Never store any potentially harmful object in food jars or food storage containers.
When cooking, use the back burners whenever possible, and be sure to keep pot handles turned toward the stove so that your child cannot reach or bump a hot pot.
Keep appliances, such as the toaster, food processor, and blender, unplugged and well away from counter edges.
Cover the garbage disposal.
Place secure plastic fasteners (available in most hardware stores) on cabinet doors to keep your child out of cupboards holding glass, china, cleaning products, and other potentially harmful substances.
Keep a fire extinguisher in a handy location near the stove, but make sure it is out of your child's reach.
In the Bathroom
Apply nonslip surfaces to the bottom of the bathtub.
Never leave an infant or young child in the bathtub alone. If you must leave the room to answer the phone or door, wrap your little one in a towel and take him with you.
Keep all medicines and supplements out of reach. Other Areas Throw away old medicines and prescriptions.
Do not leave medicines or cleaning products on a counter within reach of your child.

"They call me Detroit because I was born there and I love to work on cars," Derek Tipton, 46, said between meetings with customers recently at his automotive restoration and repair shop, Detroit City Customs.
Derek Tipton earned his nickname by making collectable car owners' dreams come true.
"They call me Detroit because I was born there and I love to work on cars," Tipton, 46, said between meetings with customers recently at his automotive restoration and repair shop, Detroit City Customs.
Tipton's operation is an extension of his passion for restoring and customizing vehicles, which boiled over about a year ago after he completed his ultra-custom "Goodfellas" chopper in his garage at home.
The stretched-out chopper has brass knuckles for handgrips and painted images of three gangsters from the movie with the same name.
"I finished the bike and wanted to start another hot rod. My wife said, 'Why don't you just open a shop?' " Tipton said.
So he did.
Just inside the Detroit City Customs shop you see an immaculate dark maroon 1967 Cadillac with a 425-cubic-inch block in a massive engine compartment.
"That car was trashed. The body had about 30 gallons of bondo filler on it when the car arrived. We straightened the metal and the resto took 600 hours," Tipton said.
He motioned around the shop.
"The 1929 model A Ford over there has been an ongoing project. The car came to us in pieces. There wasn't a part of it that wasn't bent or rusted," Tipton said.
Don Milan operates Auto Doctors of Ocala in the Detroit City Customs shop and provides in-house engine work and mechanical work.
When Jim Van Ostran, 63, of The Villages needed a major engine repair and fender repaired on his pristine 1937 Packard Touring Sedan, he turned to Detroit for help.
"They did an excellent job. I use this car in my real estate business. I had the pistons replaced here and the fender repainted," Van Ostran said.
"I charge about $20 an hour additional for cars older than me. We may spend a lot of time searching for parts," Milan said.
Milan stood by as Van Ostran listened to the steady, smooth idle of the straight eight, 320-cubic-inch engine, which is rated at 130 horsepower. The 4,500-pound car has a distinctive "Goddess of Speed" hood ornament.
"I had work done on the Packard when I purchased the car in California. The work was done at a garage that does work for Jay Leno. I believe the quality of work here at this shop in Ocala is better," Van Ostran said.
The 18,000-square-foot Detroit City Customs mechanical shop and adjacent 7,800-square-foot paint shop can handle complete "frame off" restorations and has about a dozen projects ongoing.
Most cars are taken down to the bare frame rails, and then the partially assembled vehicles are placed on a rotating lift for better accessibility.
"We can take a trashed or barn-fresh car in the front and have it come out like new out the back. We can provide frame, body work, engine work, re-chroming and upholstery work," Tipton said.
Tipton is currently restoring a customer's 1967 Mustang with a 289-cubic-inch engine and another client's 1970 Mustang with a 351 Cleveland engine.
"That's a 1972 Mustang on the next rack. It was stored for 14 years. The restoration will run about $27,000 and it will be like new," Tipton said.
"The car on that lift over there is a 1970 Chevrolet Super Sport 396. After a $30,000 restoration, the car should be worth about $60,000," Tipton said.
Other cars in the shop include a 1966 retractable hardtop Thunderbird used in Ron Jon sun tan lotion commercials and a rare 1970 MoPar Super Bird Roadrunner, which will have a high rear wing when completed.
"The wing is stored upstairs because it's so valuable," Tipton said. He said only about 300 of the Superbirds still exist.
"We can check the VIN (vehicle identification number) sometimes for the correct paint color," Tipton said.
Paint shop technician Kody Compton uses air brushes and paint guns on the projects such as a 1957 Thunderbird being painted factory original Inca Gold and a 1968 Charger getting a black matte finish requested by the owner.
"We can scan parts to establish the exact color," Compton said.
Projects at the shop can be measured in weeks, months and even longer depending upon the nature of the job, availability of parts and the customer's schedule.
"I have one customer who said he doesn't want his wife to find out how much the restoration cost," Tipton said.

The Bride Wore A Gray Gown
15 comments:
This is so sad. Death was never known to have good timing.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for commenting. Indeed, death comes as it will.
Very challenging times, Deb. An unusual trio of deaths in the year before their marriage. I'm sure they missed their parents terribly at the ceremony and after.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for stopping by to comment. This story is one of the saddest I have come across in the many years of research.
We've recently encountered the same situation as your first scenario, Deb, in that an acquaintance lost a parent at the beginning of a week that was to end with a wedding celebration.ReplyDelete
Adding the second and third such tragedy to this couple's early history just goes beyond comprehension. It must have been such an inconceivable grief to have suffered all those losses in such a short time--and around the time of an event that should have been so joyous.
We have no concept of some of the difficulties our ancestors endured.Replies
Thank you for commenting. Sounds like you had an sad tale of your own. Have you written about this story?
Wow - I can't even imagine the sadness that must have been surrounding them as they started their life together. What a sad find (though an interesting article and vivid picture!)ReplyDelete
~ StephReplies
Thanks for leaving a comment. Indeed very sad and interesing. Sad on a personal level, but was challening to pull together all the parts of the story. More research needed.
Wow! What an unbelievably sad story! I can't even imagine how this bride and groom must have felt on what was supposed to be a gloriously happy day.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for commenting. It was fun though to watch my son-in-law put the parts of the puzzle together.
Oh so sad! We can't begin to imagine the heartache some of our ancestors went through. I am sure their "honeymoon" was a bittersweet time.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! Never thought about the honeymoon! What a challenging time that would have been for the young couple.Delete
What a story! I've never read of combined events like these. Parents dying in July, March, and May in the year before a June wedding. No wonder the bride wore a grey gown and a black hat! It will be interesting to see what the death certificates say --were some of the parents unusually old? Was there an epidemic, as you ask? It is several years before the "Spanish flu" will strike. Again, what a story!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for the comments. Have been doing some initial research into epidemics and such in the Maryland region. Nothing so far! Will have to wait until the State Archives visit and locate death certificates.
Congratulations on getting a future son-in-law who is interested in genealogy. It's always a pleasant diversion to delve into someone else's story for a change.ReplyDelete

Aston Martin is likely to be the first UK company to use Microsoft's Surface device to help it sell the £160,000 cars.
The application, created by London design agency Splendid, will use the interactive coffee table that was announced earlier in the year to be used to show prospective customers what their car will look like with different options.
The application, which is based on a similar version designed for the Aston Martin's website will let users see the cars in different paint jobs, with different wheels and from all angles and sides.
Using the system, salespeople will be able to put "tagged" paint cards down on the Surface and the device automatically change the colour on the display.
Splendid's MD Paul Bishop told Pocket-lint that he believes the touchscreen devices that run Windows Vista will be in showrooms sometime next year.
We will keep you posted.

The Gators have some major rebuilding to do in the middle of their offensive line.
This is the sixth of a 12-part series breaking down the Florida football roster, looking ahead to 2014 and projecting how the Gators might look at each position:
WHO'S GONE: Center Jon Harrison, guard Jon Halapio, tackle/guard/center Kyle Koehne and guard Ian Silberman, who graduated last week and will play his senior season at Louisville.
WHO'S BACK: Senior guard Max Garcia and junior guard/tackle Trip Thurman.
WHO'S NEW: Redshirt freshman Octavius Jackson, redshirt freshman Cameron Dillard, junior college transfer Drew Sarvary and incoming freshman Travaris Dorsey, who will enroll this summer.
WHAT'S NEXT: The Gators have some major rebuilding to do in the middle of their offensive line. It starts at center, where UF does not have an obvious choice to replace three-year starter Jon Harrison, who was converted to center from guard. UF may be looking to take a similar route with its next center — taking a guard or tackle and developing him into a center. Perhaps the most likely candidate to make such a move is offensive tackle Tyler Moore, the Nebraska transfer who had some issues with speed pass rushers on the outside this past season. Moore is kind of in the Harrison mold — big, strong, tough and agile, qualities needed to play the center position. The next big hole is at right guard, where the tough and dependable Halapio was a three-year starter. Silberman would have been a leading candidate, but he has decided to use his final year of eligibility at Louisville in the fall after earning his UF degree last weekend. The guy who may get the first look at Halapio's spot figures to be Jackson, who was so impressive on the scout team last fall that the UF coaches considered taking the redshirt off him and playing him in the latter part of the season. Another possibility is Sarvary, the junior college transfer who appears physically mature enough to step in and play guard in the SEC. He also could end up at tackle, but his likely starting point will be at guard. The only interior starter returning is left guard Max Garcia, who was forced to move outside to tackle late last season due to injuries. He's much more comfortable at guard, where he's the only obvious starter heading into the spring.
THE SKINNY: The Gators have to replace two-thirds of their interior offensive front, and they don't have a whole lot of options because of the lack of depth at guard, and the lack of a natural center on the roster. Except for Garcia, the Gators are going to be young and inexperienced inside, which probably is not a good thing, especially with UF transitioning to a new offense under a new coordinator.

Boutique Hotel with Views of the Atlantic and Relaxing Sea-Coast Dining
Ashworth by the Sea has stood along Hampton, New Hampshire's Ocean Boulevard for more than 100 years. The hotel's retro sign—made up of slanting white letters set across a brick wall—is a distinctive feature along this oceanfront, which is regarded as one of New England's finest. Hotel guests are treated to wide-open views of Hampton Beach and the Atlantic Ocean from their guest rooms, as well as from a rooftop deck located directly underneath the sign.
The boutique hotel's king standard rooms overlook the Atlantic Ocean. Since the hotel is more than a century old, each room has an individual style and floor plan. Elsewhere, you can take a dip in the heated indoor pool, which sparkles under a roof made from hundreds of translucent-yellow glass panes.
Executive chef Derek Kucharski presides over Breakers Restaurant and Bar, where cooks craft New England clam chowder and other signature dishes. Recent renovations have outfitted the restaurant with a stone fireplace, granite-topped bar, and wood flooring. On Friday and Saturday nights, Breakers offers live entertainment starting at 9 p.m.
Hampton, New Hampshire: Historic New England Resort Town with Award-Winning Beaches
Ashworth by the Sea overlooks Hampton Beach, one of only four shorelines in the country named a "superstar beach" by the Natural Resources Defense Council. The award goes to those beaches deemed the safest in the United States thanks to a record of clean swimming water. A popular spot for visitors, the beach provides plenty of space for those looking to spread out and relax by the ocean. There's also a boardwalk lining the beach, teeming with carnival games and candy shops.
If it's too cold to lay on the beach, head to the Hampton Historical Society & Tuck Museum, about 3 miles from the hotel, to learn more about the area's history. The museum encompasses several buildings, including a 19th-century schoolhouse. About a 20-minute drive away is the city of Portsmouth, a historic seaport with a plethora of restaurants, museums, and shops, as well as spectacular architecture from as early as the 18th century.

Armenia: Risk Assessment
Country Risk Rating
Business Climate Rating
- Significant mining resources (molybdenum, copper, gold)
- Significant support form international organizations and the diaspora
- Member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU)
- Geographically isolated, aggravated by a lack of inffrastructure
- Strong dependence on Russia (trade: 20% of exports and 30% of imports, FDI, loans, transfers of migrants)
- Persistently high level of unemployment
- High level of corruption
- Conflict with Azerbaijan regarding Nagorno-Karabakh
Current Trends
Recovery Dependent on External Factors
After a technical recession at the end of 2016, growth rebounded in 2017, supported by the recovery of activity in Russia and the slight rise in the price of commodities. In 2018, the pace of activity should be determined and constrained by these same factors, given the dependence on the economic health of Russia neighbor and world metal prices, and the weakness of domestic growth drivers. In effect, even a very slight growth recovery n Russia would favor exports (almost one quarter of Armenian exports are destined for Russia). It would also encourage household consumption through expatriate transfers (more than 15% of GDP, 70% of which are from Russia), which are set to return to 2007 levels after their fall in 2016. Industrial production, which is highly dependent on the metals sector (50% of exports and almost 10% of GDP, half of which is for copper), should continue to benefit from the moderate rise in world prices, even if the low prices compared to their pre-2014 levels would still constrain investment. The start of production of the Amulsar gold mine planned for 2018 could, however, promote industrial activity beyond its current growth rate.
For domestic determining factors, the degraded business environment, poor infrastructure and the competitive deficit will continue to weigh negatively on potential growth. Moreover, unlike other countries in the region, Armenia maintains an unemployment rate close to the level reached during the 2009 crisis (18.5%), despite a period of high emigration in 2011-2013. Low labor market pressures are holding back underlying inflation, which has been negative since 2016. Total inflation, however, should increase, driven by rising food and commodity prices, as well as continued monetary easing (interest rate cut from 8.75% to 6.0% between January 2016 and February 2017).
Continued Budget Consolidation and Slight Decrease in the Current Account Deficit
The government should continue to reduce the budget deficit through the consolidation efforts undertaken since 2016 with the support of the IMF. The implementation of the new Tax Code in 2017 has already led to an increase in tax revenue of around 0.7 percentage point of the GDP, for an estimated potential of 2 percentage points of the GDP over the medium term. Submitted to the National Assembly in October 2017, the revision of the fiscal rule adopted in 2008 should make it possible to make the adjustment at a pace more adapted to the position of the economy in the cycle, and at the lowest cost for potential growth – a victim of cuts to infrastructure spending in recent years. Although the consolidation effort should be carried out at a more moderate pace in 2018, the government should nevertheless continue to introduce major structural reforms, both in terms of social protection and public enterprises: the pension reform adopted in 2014 should finally be implemented on a large scale, with the introduction of mandatory contribution for all employees in July 2018, while the reforms initiated in the utility sector (electricity and water) should reduce the losses associated with certain public enterprises.
Despite a slight improvement, the current account balance is likely to remain in deficit in 2018. After widening in 2017 – as a result of a recovery in domestic demand that ended a period of sharply reduced imports –, the deterioration is expected to only be partially reversed in 2018. In fact, the growth in export earnings and transfers would remain moderate.
Institutions Change, but the Pressures Remain
The presidential elections will take place in April 2018. However, 2018 will be marked by the transition to a parliamentary system, in accordance with the constitutional amendments adopted at the end of 2015 via referendum. While President Serzh Sargsyan cannot run for a third presidential term, he could, however, occupy the office of prime minister given that his party (Republican Party of Armenia, PRA) won the parliamentary elections of April 2017 (58 seats won out of 105 in the Assembly). At the same time, pressures for social change are mounting, with unemployment concentrated in cities (four times higher than in rural areas) and among young people (twice as high as for the rest of the population), in addition to widespread corruption and regional inequalities.
At the geopolitical level, the dispute with Azerbaijan over the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, officially Azeri but populated mostly by Armenians, has given rise to regular shootings since the Four Day War in April 2016. While the Russian military base in Gyumri seems to maintain and preserve the rest of the Armenian territory from overflowing conflict, security in the Nagorno-Karabakh region remains under threat in the medium term.

Pediatric palliative care focuses on relieving pain and enhancing the quality of life of children with severe, life-limiting, or life-threatening conditions. At Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del., our pediatric palliative care team uses a variety of therapies to help these children feel better (physically and emotionally) — no matter what kind of condition or prognosis they face.
But it's more than just treatment — our pediatric palliative care team provides a compassionate, supportive and organized approach to care that's geared toward helping your child's whole body, mind and spirit. And caring for a child with a medically-complex or chronic illness means caring for your whole family — offering support and comfort for your child, your family and your journey.
At every step, we involve you — the family — because no one knows your child better or understands more about what you child and family are going through than you do.
"A pediatric palliative care program is necessary for the quality of life for a critically ill child and their family. It is imperative to minimize the child's pain, while guiding and nurturing the family during this most difficult time of their lives. An effective palliative care program will reach beyond the walls of the hospital and help sustain the family for years to come."
— Diana, a mother, who (after the loss of her child)
championed the effort for the creation of a pediatric palliative care program at duPont Hospital for Children
"We love our team at Nemours and we feel loved by them … Everyone takes care of Lucy first then takes care of her medical needs. It's made a huge difference for our family."
— Nicole, mother of Lucy, age 3,
who has mitochondrial disease (a chronic genetic disorder)

1. Stop micro-measuring. Instead of focusing on the ROI of every piece of content, spend some time doing things that don't have an immediate ROI. Ask your customers questions because you're generally interested in their feedback, not because it will increase your engagement figures. Share something interesting that another brand created. Write a blog post about an employee who did something interesting.
2. Prune your presence. You probably can't just up and leave Twitter, but will anyone notice if you shut down your Pinterest page? Close your Vine account? Stop the weekly meeting to discuss your Tumblr editorial calendar? Is every single one of your online properties helping you achieve your business goals? Or is it there because you heard it was the next big thing?
3. Learn the value of silence. Just because a royal baby was born doesn't mean you have to offer your congratulations. If there's a terrible tragedy, don't feel the need to offer your condolences. Believe it or not, most of your customers aren't going to get into an uproar because you went a day without a post. If you're not going to do anything tangible to help, show some respect and be quiet.
4. Take it offline. Brands should realize their communities live offline as well. Take some of your social media budget and instead of applying it to more content generation, syndication, or promotion, consider sinking it into some good, old-fashioned offline activities. Go to a store and talk with people about your products or your commercials or your ads. Take some of the products you've reserved for influencer outreach and give them away to people in the community. Really effective social media goes beyond content and builds real relationships with real people.

Two games into the season, Marcus Paige looks comfortable hunting his shot for No. 12 North Carolina.
Paige scored a career-high 23 points to help the Tar Heels push their way past Holy Cross 62-54 on Friday night in the Hall of Fame Tipoff event, the sophomore's second strong scoring performance.
Paige scored 16 points after halftime and joined with fellow sophomore Brice Johnson to give the Tar Heels (2-0) the spark they needed to break free from a 35-all tie. And with leading scorer P.J. Hairston and senior guard Leslie McDonald out indefinitely due to NCAA eligibility concerns, the burden to provide some perimeter scoring punch is falling heavily to Paige as he plays more on the wing than as a full-time point guard last year.
"It's obviously a work in progress because it's something I haven't had to do here yet," Paige said. "But at the same time, you're a basketball player. If the team needs you to step up and be a scorer, then that's what you have to do."
Paige struggled with his shot through much of his rookie season before coming on in the final month or so. He scored in double figures in consecutive games twice last year, but had 14 points with four 3-pointers against Oakland then went 8-for-17 with three 3-pointers in 36 minutes Friday.
"Marcus is a good scorer, but Marcus is a basketball player," coach Roy Williams said. "He has tremendous savvy, he's good defensively. I've got to try to get him more breaks where he doesn't play 36 minutes in a game."
Johnson, a lean 6-foot-9 forward, added 12 points for his second straight double-figure scoring game after going the last 21 games of his freshman season without reaching double figures.
The duo scored 10 points during the 12-0 run that finally gave the Tar Heels some cushion midway through the second half against the Crusaders (1-2), who hung tough despite a miserable shooting game.
Malachi Alexander scored 13 to lead Holy Cross, which shot 29 percent and missed 17 of 22 3-pointers.
Holy Cross was coming off a 122-118 double-overtime win against Sacred Heart on Wednesday, when the Crusaders knocked down 11 3-pointers and got a combined 61 points from Cullen Hamilton and Dave Dudzinski. But shots just wouldn't fall against North Carolina, keeping the Crusaders from pressing the Tar Heels for a possible upset.
Dudzinski finished with 11 points on 4-for-12 shooting, while Hamilton had eight on 2-for-11 shooting.
"We just played in a game where we scored 122 points," Holy Cross coach Milan Brown said. "Tonight we were in a rock fight."
Then again, it wasn't like North Carolina looked sharp, either.
UNC shot 27 percent (9 for 33) in the first half, but nearly 52 percent after halftime to finally take control. Williams said his team played with more patience to look for better shots, while Johnson said the Tar Heels played selfishly early.
"It just seemed like everybody was taking one-dribble shots and one-pass shots instead of doing like we did in the first game where we were passing it around, passing it inside, passing it out," Johnson said. "We weren't moving the ball the way we should have."
The Tar Heels led 11-1 early as Holy Cross misfired on 16 of 18 shots to open the game. But with UNC shooting badly, too, the Crusaders were able to crawl their way into a 25-all tie just before halftime.
Holy Cross led 32-29 on Justin Burrell's basket with 16:39 left and the teams were tied at 35 before Paige and Johnson sparked the decisive run. Johnson showed a nice touch with three baskets in the paint, while Paige hit a reverse layup and a jumper around a screen to push the lead to 47-35 with 9½ minutes left.
Paige hit four free throws in the final minute to help seal the win, including two with 58.5 seconds left after Holy Cross had clawed to within 56-50.
"We lost Paige a couple of times and he hurt us," Brown said. "He loosened the paint up. And to that point, we were able to contract our defense and just keep everybody out of the lane and just fight. But once he made a few jump shots, he loosened some things up."
The Tar Heels play Belmont here Sunday in the Tipoff, then face Richmond next weekend in the tournament's semifinal round in Uncasville, Conn.

Spider Projection
spider projection from Friedrich van Schoor on Vimeo.
Two-for-one Monday! This came down the line on twitter (via @MorbiusKromwell & @JulianSimpson1) a moment ago and I JUST had to share it. It shows how, using a real spider and some technological creativity, you can make the creepiest projection display ever.
I watched that via your
I watched that via your Twitter post. Wasn't it funny. I can think of a few people who'd go screaming for miles if they saw it. LOL!
P.S. is it bad of me to want to see someone going screaming from the scene?
spider projection
Ooooohhhh!!!! Hmmm, WE have an unused projector...
Am I screaming outloud...
or is it just in my head?
OMG - that is brilliant. Terrifying, but brilliant.
That is something that you will never see in the Graveyard - projected spiders. Nope, never going to happen.
Thanks for sharing.
That creeped me out so bad!!!

Poteau Pirates making strides despite loss to Sallisaw Friday night
Well, the Poteau Pirates played with Class 4A's sixth-ranked Sallisaw Black Diamonds in Friday night's District 4A-4 opener at Costner Stadium, and were in contention until the final quarter. It seemed like the Black Diamonds came out in the third quarter and made major corrections on the offensive side of the ball. Ben Oberste, the future Tulsa Golden Hurricane, has been highly visible in sports in eastern Oklahoma for the past three years. But without question, he was a lot more dominating with his legs than with his arm. Poteau had no answer for the QB read option.I believe the Black Diamonds' lofty rating, status and name earned them some "iffy" calls that went to them. I have always heard that highly rated teams gets the calls.I have questioned Poteau QB Jace Pitchford and his youth, eagerness and his decision-making ability under duress. Well Jace, I am here to tell you, that if Oberste is a Bowl Championship Series (formerly known as Division I-A) player, I think you're not too far behind. I guess I just want you to keep playing with the same intensity, heart and belief in your own abilities, and I believe that one day those attempts at great plays will start to fall into place — and you, too, will start to get the respect that you will have earned, and maybe the Pirates will get the calls, too. I may be thinking through my Pirate-tinted brain, but I believe you outplayed your counterpart.The Black Diamonds had a group of very talented skill players, but what I saw was the fact that Poteau's skill players are younger and more explosive than Sallisaw's. I believe the Pirates were deeper than the Black Diamonds, and here is why. You have a blue-chip quarterback, and he is forced to play on defense. Sure, he posted an interception, but he also had several non calls on running plays. I looks like Roger Barcheers has matriculated at warp speed through the Poteau football pecking order, and his days of toting the ball for the Poteau freshmen is a thing of the past. I cannot see him playing another down for the freshmen, unless he is used in the Vian contest — a game that could be the major hurdle to finish the season undefeated after Thursday night's game at Sallisaw. Here is something that I am concerned about. The Pirates will travel Friday night to Stilwell and play the Indians, which is a team that is better on the basketball court than the gridiron. Listen, this game is a trap game that is ready to be sprung. After all, the Pirates have this game sandwiched between and Sallisaw and Fort Gibson, the sixth-ranked team in Class 4A and the seventh-ranked team in the state. Please Pirates, be ready to play Stilwell. You have came too far to lose focus now.I am proud and thrilled to see the Poteau stands packed to overflowing. Poteau fans, we have a great team, and this is only going to get better.

PopUps: Fans React to James Van Der Beek's Bulge in New Photo
Actor James Van Der Beek posted a seemingly innocuous photo to his Instagram account last week. The "Dawson's Creek" star shared a pic of himself in a suit backstage at "The Late Late Show" with James Corden - but some of his 304,000 followers were quick to spot something big in his trousers.
"@latelateshow is always a fun hang, I brought the whole crew this time," the 40-year-old actor captioned a photo, referring to his wife and kids. But some Instagram users pointed out a less wholesome take on the photo, using his choice of words to their advantage.
"Fun 'hang'...I see what you did there," one Instagram user wrote, adding a suggestive smirk emoji.
"Fun HUNG," another commenter wrote, adding the water drops emoji.
Another Instagram user summed things up perfectly with their reaction: "YAAAAAAAASSSSS," the wrote with the addition of several eggplant emojis.

Plan to combine an armada of satellites to map Earth's land
A new ESA office opening this week in the 'Green Heart' of Germany will serve as a focus for an ambitious project to create a continuously updated map of global land surfaces using observations from space.
Global Observation for Forest and Land Cover Dynamics (GOFC/GOLD) is a co-ordinated international effort to provide ongoing observations of land cover types.
Its aim is to support sustainable development of terrestrial resources as well as improve scientific understanding of how carbon is stored on land surfaces and in particular within forests – important for anticipating how alterations in land use could accelerate future climate.
Implementing GOFC/GOLD requires action in a number of different fields, and one of the most important is to develop standardised methods, tools and products for land cover measurements using space-based plus in-situ observations.
Achieving this within an operational system is the purpose of the ESA GOFC/GOLD Land Cover Implementation Team Project Office, located at the Geoinformatics Department of Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, nestled within Germany's Thuringian Forest.
A three-day GOFC/GOLD Workshop at Jena starting 2 March has marked the formal opening of the office, with attendees including GOFC/GOLD participants from all over the planet as well as Earth Observation experts and attendees from partner organisations including the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation, ESA and the European Commission.
"Dynamic changes occurring on the Earth's surface are to be recorded and evaluated with the help of as many existing satellites as possible," says Dr Chris Schmullius, head of the Jena Office. "This is where our task begins, because the different satellite instruments and formats are not yet standardised and easily comparable.
"The Workshop is making a start because gathered together we have experts in global mapping who can identify which satellite projects can supply the worldwide data we need and which cannot. In addition we are beginning to specify the long-term strategy by which satellite products will be harmonised and standardised for future mapping."
Using all satellites and sensors available, the intention is to carry out a systematic programme of so-called 'coarse' resolution mapping – between 250 to 1000 metres – on a five-year cycle, supplemented with periodic mapping and monitoring of forested areas at 'fine' resolution to around 25 metres.
Making good this ambitious goal requires the synthesis of many disparate data sets and techniques, but Schmullius believes it is doable because she has previous experience of using combined instruments to map the vast Siberian forest, using imagery from ESA's ERS spacecraft as well as Japan's JERS to map 1.2 million square kilometres during a three-year period.
ESA is funding the GOFC-GOLD Land Cover Implementation Office for a duration of three years. GOFC-GOLD was first developed as a pilot project of the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) as part of their Integrated Global Observing Strategy (IGOS). It is now a panel of the Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS).

Dave Wood's Book Report, Jan. 21, 2009
Several years ago, my friend novelist Carolyn See wrote a tell-all book about her family's century-long love affair with alcohol addiction, written with her usual literary flair. See is a fine California novelist ("Rhine Maidens," "Making History") who doesn't get enough attention here in the Midwest.
She was coming to read at the Hungry Mind in St. Paul, so I wrote a column about here appearance and hied myself over to see her.
What a surprise! The place was packed with people - standing room only. This for a writer whose last novel had flopped in the Twin Cities.
Even Carolyn, who is never non-plused was a bit shocked as she began her talk. And when the questions started to come, it became evident that the crowd had little interest in literature, but were addiction junkies, if I might coin a phrase.
These are the people who have suffered from addiction or whose friends and relatives have and who reach out to anyone who might prefer a snort of cocaine or a bottle of Jack Daniels.
When she was finished a member of the audience asked Carolyn how these terrible addictions affected her family and her life.
Carolyn replied, with only a smidgen of irony, "Looking back, I guess I could say it was really a lot of fun."
So much for the big shindig at The Hungry Mind.
I am not a addiction junkie, but I occasionally read books about it and enjoy them, especially books like Carolyn See's.
I hereby add to that list "Wishful Drinking," by Carrie Fisher (Simon & Schuster, $21). Fisher, of course, is the writer/actor/wit and daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher.
She's written several books, including "Postcards from the Edge," which was made into a movie starring Shirley McClaine as Reynolds, Meryl Streep as Carrie and no one as Eddie Fisher. It's a bittersweet tale of a major star's daughter and her descent into addiction.
"Wishful Drinking" is not a fictional tale; it's the truth about Carrie Fisher, who achieved fame at an early age in the movie "Star Wars" and has spent much of the rest of the time since then trying to screw it up, then clawing her way back to sanity, all done with breezy good humor. Here's a sample:
"Now come back with me when I was first told that I was an alcoholic -- which greatly relieved me by the way, because I knew something was the matter with me, so I thought 'Great! That's it -- that's what I've been struggling with (and enjoying) all this time!
"But what they (the diagnosticians) do -- to soften the blow of this arguably awkward new way of looking at yourself -- they enumerate a number of other famous and accomplished folks who have also struggled with (and enjoyed) alcoholism.
"There was Scott Fitzgerald, Mel Gibson, Dylan Thomas, Ireland, Rush Limbaugh, Lindsay Lohan, Russia and George W. Bush.
"I think their point - don't feel bad. You're joining an illustrious group. Great people have been alcoholics. Oh, be one, it's fun! ... so relax and join the great drunks who staggered the Earth before you."
Wait, gentle reader, there's more, as Fisher continues:
"So when I was told I was a manic depressive there was a whole new list waiting for me. There was Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Kristy McNichol, Sir Isaac Newton, Mark Twain, St. Francis, St. Theresa, Jonathan Winters, Brittany Spears and George W. Bush."

Arizona doc creating brain-injury registry for high-school athletesPosted: Updated:
PHOENIX -- It's been a hot-button topic in the medical community, the high-school sports community and parent of young athletes -- concussion and its long-term effects, particularly on still-developing brains.
In partnership with Arizona's world-renowned Barrow Neurological Institute, Dr. Tamara McLeod, an expert on pediatric head injuries and a professor at A.T. Still University, is pilot-testing a brain-injury registry for high school students that will be rolled out across the state.
McLeod provides baseline and post-concussion testing for a network of Arizona high schools and has created a concussion database that, to date, contains details on head injuries sustained by almost 400 student athletes in Arizona.
She sat down with 3TV's Javier Soto to discuss the problems posed by concussion injuries and what she hopes to accomplish with her registry.
Concussion Statistics
- 1.6 - 3 million sports-related concussions annually.
- 100,000 concussions caused by high school sports each year.
- In Arizona, 7,000 high school athletes suffer concussions every year.
Top-5 Concussion Myths
- If you're not passed out, you're not concussed.
- Every high school coach knows how to spot a concussion.
- Concussions can be easily diagnosed using imaging.
- If a player is cleared to play, he is out of the woods.
- Concussed players who've been suspended from play are OK to return to the classroom.

State CIOs aim to consolidate data centers, move to the cloud
State priorities largely mirror federal technology priorities.
Consolidating data centers and other infrastructure, moving more operations to nimble computer clouds and avoiding a cyberattack or other security breach are the top three priorities for state chief information officers in 2013, according to a survey released Tuesday.
Members of the National Association of State Chief Information Officers also are focused on responding to tighter budgets and the state requirements from the 2010 Affordable Care Act, the survey said.
The state priorities largely mirror federal technology priorities, though most state budgets will likely require more drastic technology spending cuts than the federal budget.
"The top priorities reflect the fact that state governments are under continued pressure to do more with less and that leads to innovation, collaboration and sharing," NASCIO President and Nebraska Chief Information Officer Brenda Decker said in a statement.
Other items on state CIOs' priority lists include making more employee and citizen services available through mobile devices and improving shared services among state agencies, the survey said.
Discuss the future of Federal IT with experts, innovators and your peers on Dec. 3 in Washington at Nextgov Prime, the defining event in the federal technology landscape. Learn more at nextgov.com/prime.

When Pam Taylor lost her voice, she was finally able to empathize with her best friend's autistic son.
Connor Anderson, 9, of Kershaw has never spoken a word. His fine motor skills are not good enough to communicate with sign language.
He cannot hold a pencil to write. His caregivers are left to guessing his needs.
But family and friends are trying to change that. Ever since her vocal cords healed, Taylor has been raising money alongside Samantha Chilcoat, Connor's mother, to buy a machine that will speak for him.
Many of us probably take for granted the act of doing things outdoors.
Whether it be hunting, fishing or participating in some outdoor sport, we don't think twice about the opportunity.
A group of local state troopers, however, have come together to help those with disabilities also enjoy the great outdoors.
Mobility Outdoors for Christ is the name of the organization, and First Sgt. Paul Harrison of the South Carolina Highway Patrol said he felt the idea was a calling from the Lord.
The main course may make a meal, but let's be honest, isn't it the dessert that you're really waiting for? Well, you're not alone. Sweet tooths of the world unite, and enjoy this sweetest of all seasons. And while you're at it, why not make a celebratory splash of your own by serving up holiday sweets as pretty as they are delicious?
This weekend you don't want to miss the annual Tour of Homes, sponsored by the Lancaster Garden Club.
In addition, Lancaster Garden Club and arts council organizers teamed up to make a concert featuring South Carolina's own Capital City Brass Quintet at 4:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 2, at the Cultural Arts Center.
What better way to end your day of holiday activities than with an entertaining classical holiday concert?
It is vital to maintain the characteristics of joint stability and joint mobility throughout life regardless of your age or physical stamina.
It doesn't matter if you are young, old, a competitive athlete or a weekend warrior.
Understanding core and joint strength, as well as joint mobility can save us from years of joint pain, arthritis and limited mobility as we age.
Some of you may actually already have stability and mobility exercises added to your daily schedule.

In July 2011, here in Lancaster, residents started seeing fund-raising jars for a little girl with "Saving Baby Susan" etched on them, not knowing the whole story behind the girl or those jars.
Well, here is that story from her mother's words and heart.
On Dec. 16, 2010, Susan, or "Bean" as she was known by family and friends, was a healthy and normal 18-month-old child.
Great food is the centerpiece of any holiday celebration, and practicing safe food handling in the kitchen is an important part of holiday meal preparation. There are certain steps you can take to keep friends and family safe from food poisoning.
"The kitchen can be chaotic and it can be challenging to keep food safety top of mind when dealing with a whole holiday meal, from turkey to trimmings," cautions Shelley Feist, Executive Director of the non-profit Partnership for Food Safety Education.
MILWAUKEE, WI – This holiday season, TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, encourages people to change the way they think about eating during family gatherings to avoid seasonal weight gain. Being prepared, having a game plan, and staying positive are all keys to mindful eating during celebrations, allowing you to enjoy time with loved ones without worrying about your food choices.
TOPS offers several tips to help you enjoy Thanksgiving and other upcoming holiday get-togethers without regret:

Sometimes she carries her arms in her backpack. But Shannon Wessinger still wears her heart on her sleeve.
Lancaster folks were a bit antsy the last week of October 1940.
All of this war stuff was taking a toll.
James Williams of Route 4 and Henry Flynn of Elm Street were among the first soldiers whose draft numbers were drawn from a fish bowl in Washington, D.C., that week.
It had been a tough week. Friday night's weather had messed up the football game between Lancaster and Fort Mill.
The game ended in a 7-7 tie. Some didn't go 'cause of the rain and the ones who went were mad about the outcome.
